Hi,

I checked out this phone from BlindShell, they left out a lot of important information, so wrote to them and will let you know what I hear back.

I always love finding out about different phones from the standard.

Hi,
Thanks. We were talking about two different phones. The ones I am referring to are at:

Thanks,

Hi,
When I looked on their website, the classic and the Baroque were both for $300-something. The classic, with fewer options was $399 and the Baroque, with more options, was $349. I don't get that. 

Did you talk to someone about the $299 price? Is it for the Classic or the Baroque?
Thanks,
Lauren

Hi, Denise,

I have been in touch with the company COO, as I am always interested in finding out about new phones.

This phone is for the person who only wants to talk and text, and those do exist, my hubby being one of them hahaha.

It is on the Linux platform.

I don’t have any personal experience with this device. It just seemed interesting. This advertisement is just for your information.
